No, it’s not yet another re-run of Poltergeist … but the return of the Dratteds 😀 I felt absolutely miserable and sorry for myself today, so I cheered myself up with starting my rotation again – I didn’t think I’d ever say the Dratteds would bring me so much joy, but it was definitely what the doctor ordered. I sat all day with my bung knee, bunged up and intermittently dripping nose, and heavy eyes due to lack of sleep (add to that a certain monthly visitor showing its head today hmmm) and stitched my little heart out … and I enjoyed every minute of it. My eyes are now like little squints, but fingers crossed I’ll sleep better tonight.
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I worked on the Dratteds (and any of my rotation, for that matter) – it was December last year since they saw daylight … so I’ve decided to do a ‘before and after’ shot to see the progress 🙂 Basically the entire left hand side is now 100% finished yippee. I’d dearly love to see them finished before year end, even if none of my other goals are met … hopefully it will happen … As they say in Arabic, “imshallah” (God willing) 🙂

Wow, Anne, they are looking great! Very realistic!
Your progress is amazing. All of that in one day! I wish I was that quick. 🙂 They look amazing.
You have done some nice progress there. I have stitched this one and it took me ages to finish them. Started in 2000 and finished in 2004. You can see a pic here, maybe it will inspire you some more http://community.webshots.com/photo/372344395/1372346183030878556pVAsoB
